Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer.
Psalm 130:2
With praise and thanks, they sang this song to the Lord:
“He is so good! His faithful love for Israel endures forever!”
Then all the people gave a great shout, praising the Lord because the foundation of the Lord ’s Temple had been laid.
Ezra 3:11
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:11
Christ, our cornerstone, we can so easily become focused on the bricks and mortar of the church that we forget that the church is your body of believers, and you are the foundation. Remind us that we, as the church, are your body called out to be your heart and hands in ministry to the world. Open us to opportunities to serve in your name, to lighten the burdens of others, and to make you known to those who have not heard of your love. Amen.
